Tupa Lodge Selva y Rio

O hotel é lindo igual as fotos, a equipe é muito atenciosa e prestativa. O Pedro, recepcionista, é incrível, um rapaz muito educado e gentil. O quarto é lindo, a vista deslumbrante, o chuveiro é muito bom mesmo. São apenas 10 acomodações, então é um lugar bem tranquilo, reservado. Fica longe do centro, cerca de 20 minutos da feirinha, mas queríamos um lugar para descansar mesmo. Próximo do hotel a estrada realmente é ruim, nosso carro é baixo então é só ir devagar que é tranquilo. O Café da manhã não é dos melhores, mas tem o suficiente.

O hotel é maravilhoso, um contato abundante com a natureza, uma tranquilidade por ter poucos hóspedes, são apenas 10 suítes. Um lugar extremamente agradável, os funcionários foram super solicitos e educados, o café da manhã foi excelente. Nós, como bons brasileiros, só sentimos falta de ovos. Gostamos demais de nos hospedar nesse hotel. A única coisa que se deve ter atenção é a necessidade de alugar um carro, pois ele fica um pouco afastado do centrinho de Puerto Iguazu, de taxi ou carro de aplicativo a experiência não será a mesma. Se for alugar o carro em Foz, a locadora tem que fornecer a carta verde, senão não consegue passar na fronteira, não são todas as empresas que fornecem.

I'd totally go back to Tupa Lodge. When I booked, I saw some bad reviews, but a lot of it was about the last little bit of road, like 300 to 400 meters. The road's a bit rough, but that's not unusual around here. Just drive a bit slower and you will be fine. We used Uber and taxis with no problems. I actually think that's a good thing—less traffic means less noise. The peace and quiet are the best part of the lodge. The grounds are beautiful and chill, right on the river looking at Paraguay to the west. The cabins are clean and rustic but have everything you need. The staff were super nice. The day we left, our flight got delayed, and they were cool with us staying an extra 4 hours and using everything. There's a beautiful deck and a two-level pool, perfect for chilling after a long day or just hanging out all day if you want. The restaurant has local food, and the local fish I had was amazing. They were fine with dietary restrictions. The whole vibe of the place was relaxing and welcoming. This is a lodge and not the Ritz Carlton. I totally recommend Tupa Lodge.

So this is a nice, non-corporate hotel. 10 semi-detached rooms - large with balcony and good shower and smart TV and WiFi… A decent sized pool - overlooks a river, the other size of which is Paraguay. Martin and team were attentive and keen to help. Inclusive breakfast was good - cold foods. Optional omelettes, etc. Good mix of international and local (missionary) food. Evening menu is fine - decent food. It’s not a Michelin star restaurant - but I never expected it to be!! Some reviews have complained that it’s a long way from the centre - but that’s your choice, I WANTED somewhere in the jungle overlooking a border river! If you don’t then go somewhere else… Also - handy tip, make friends with the taxi driver and book them for your trips (ours took us to our next hotel in Brazil). Overall - I’d strongly recommend it.

This place is nice enough. Biggest challenge is that it is far from the center of town - a better choice if you have your own vehicle than if you are taxi based. I'd also note that they arranged a taxi for me but didn't make it clear that I needed to be prepared to pay cash for it - and when this problem became clear upon check in, they weren't able to cover for me and put it on my room - which a better hotel would have done - this type of thing makes the difference between a three and a five star review.
